- 14641: Romeo and Juliet: They Did it to Themselves
- ... patient and rational, perhaps the situation would've worked itself out, but what can one expect from a couple of thirteen year olds who insist that they are in love? The first instance of Romeo's immaturity occurs when he first encounters the lovely Juliet. He know that the party is hosted by the Capulets, and yet he still chooses to attend anyway. As a teenager, he loves to party and ... of melodrama to enhance it. Romeo demonstrates his immaturity again when he slays the Capulet, Tybalt. Being an idealist, he does not think about the consequences of his actions. He knows that Tybalt is Juliet's cousin, and that injuring him would wreck any chance of them getting together legitimately, yet he does it anyway. Instead of pausing a moment and thinking about the situation in an adult manner, Romeo allows ... about her marriage to Romeo, she leads her parents to believe that it is Tybalt she is mourning for. When Lady Capulet tries to comfort Juliet, Juliet tells of how she will "venge her cousin's death" (1082) instead of how it is really Romeo she is crying for. Her parents may have still forced her to marry Paris, but maybe they would've reconsidered had they known how strongly ...
- 14642: A Pharmacist
- ... if there are any side effects and incompatibilities with other medications the patient might be on. For example, a person might be taking a medication for another problem, and if the physician and pharmacist don't notice that condition, the prescribed medication might cause a deadly interaction. This does not happen with all drugs, but it happens with a few, and you certainly don't want a result like that. The pharmacist must also make sure that the patient does not have any allergies against that type of medication. Pharmacists should also know generic brands of medication that might save the patient's money. They must know any differences between the brand name and the generic name, such as drug interactions, side effects, and how it should be taken. Some responsibilities of the pharmacist include making intravenous ...
- 14643: Democracy
- ... Greece became the first democracy. The Romans also experimented with democracy, however it was more a republic, and not a democracy. Around 1200 England laid the groundwork to become a republic. Later, in the 1700's, United States of America, became a democracy. There are many features of democracy. Most of these features are the same, but individual countries use varations of the main ideas. The main feature of democracy, which determines a true democracy, is free, competitive elections. Sometimes however, women or minorities don't have the right to vote. Some of these other features, such as checks on power, help to limit the strength of any one person or party. Other features like free elections, and majority/ minority rule ... the assembly. The assembly met about forty times a year to discuss and vote on the issues. The council of 500, which was made of volunteers from all ten districts, helped sort out the assembly's business. An even smaller council, a counsel of fifty men, made the daily decisions of the city-state. The largest problem of Athens democracy were that only a few of the people could become ...
- 14644: Power is Money; Money is Power
- ... If a man who earned a standard salary wanted to run for president, he would have almost no chance at all unless he was backed by people with money. Every four years when the U.S. Presidential election is held, hundreds of millions of dollars are spent. The more money a candidate has, the farther he can get. Although the richest competitor doesn't always win, the president is usually a very wealthy man. Wealth paves the road to a good education. If the presidential candidate is rich, he either inherited it or was educated enough to make it. OJ Simpson's trial is another example of money changing everything. If OJ Simpson had not been a retired professional football player, then the trial would have been completely different. Because OJ was rich, he was able ...
- 14645: Thomas Jefferson: The Man, The
- ... that, while he vehemently opposed slavery, was indeed a slave owner himself. As historian Douglas L. Wilson points out in his Atlantic Monthly article "Thomas Jefferson and the Character Issue", the question should be reversed: "...[T]his was of asking the question... is essentially backward, and reflects the pervasive presentism of our time. Consider, for example, how different the question appears when inverted and framed in more historical terms: How did ... of the most important in the history of the world. Jefferson writes that "all men are created equal" and argues that every man has the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Jefferson's document shows not only his strongly held beliefs in freedom, but his acceptance of and belief in the views of the Age of Reason. He believed himself to be a person who was doing what was morally right, not for the fame that would eventually accompany it. In fact, he didn't want to write the Declaration to begin with. In 1776, the song "Not Me, John" shows how Jefferson was pushed into doing it, despite the fact that he would have actually rather gone home ...
- 14646: Cyrano De Bergerac
- ... you," it is usually only a figure of speech. Cyrano actually crossed over enemy lines every day simply to mail love letters. He also confessed to her, "My mother made it clear that she didn't find me pleasant to look at. I had no sister. Later, I dreaded the thought of seeing mockery in the eyes of a mistress. Thanks to you I've at least had a woman's friendship, a gracious presence to soften the harsh loneliness of my life. " When Cyrano admits, "My heart always timidly hides its self behind my mind," the reader can instantly relate to this dilemma but it ... fact that Cyrano is able to overcome it that makes him a hero. Not only is Cyrano filled with emotion, but he also goes out of his way to live life to the fullest. Cyrano's introduction to the reader definitely leaves a lasting impression. Not only does he banish an actor from the theater for performing poorly, but he proceeds to recite poetry while dueling with another member of ...
- 14647: The Search For God In Eight Ch
- The Search for God in Eight Chapters In Eight Chapters by Maimonides, there seems to be a lot of confusion when dealing with the existence of God and man's perception of him. Maimonides was trying to provide a strong basis for the belief that God was above man, but instead he only succeeds in stating obvious facts that fail to show a complete understanding ... great that he is incomprehensible, and it seems to me that this would not, or should not be the God embraced and praised in Christianity. Why would it be that we were created in God's image, and yet were are so below him that nothing about him is comprehensible to us? In all his supreme power, why would he create us with such meager minds and bodies? It seems that ... statement is wrong according to Maimonides. This follows from his logic that the soul and God are two different things. He never mentions God being inside a person. Therefore God does not influence a person's actions. Even science fiction writers have thought up aliens that have influenced people without making the person aware of it! So, why can't there be a god this powerful? If He is as ...

- ... world and on my way I have many people who have been living the American dream. Whether it was soccer stars, actors, or even my own friends.

- ... aborted fetuses, and from the moment I saw that I totally changed my views on the subject. After much thought I decided that abortion would be the wrong choice for myself, and though I don't really agree with the principles of the subject, I don't have the right to say whether another should or should not have abortion. The position that I hold on abortion, is not the same as everyone else's, there are many groups of people who hold different veiws on the subject, they are called the right to lifers. This group of people believe that life begins at the moment of conception, and ...
